robohobo:Corvus: robohobo: What if one is more or less perfectly split? I mean, taking the R side on half, and the D side on the other half? Or would those people just be subjects of mockery? Half a herp or half a derp?

Sorry how would that make "both candidates the same"?

How does what your beliefs are make both candidates "the same" please explain to me.

I apologize, I probably quoted the wrong section, what I meant was, it's hard to pick between the two when one's beliefs are equally strung between both factions. People like me get the stink-eye from both sides for not swallowing 100% of their kool-aid.

/dislikes kool-aid

But my point is that both candidates are not the same and have very difference stances on substantial issues.

How does what you said have any bearing on that whatsoever?

Or where you completely ignoring the point of my post and just doing the arrogant "I am so superior because I am above your politics" and had no idea what you were responding to?

Why do you think you need to "swallowing 100% of their kool-aid" do you not believe in compromise. You think we should never compromise and only vote for those we "swallowing 100% of their kool-aid"?

Hehe, I figured I'd get some crap for that. I see it as somewhat acceptable, since I'm questioning the premise of the statement "Giuliani was on CNN". In my mind, the idea that someone thought "you know who could give us some real insight into this election? Rudy! He'll have a lot of constructive commentary, and will really be a valuable resource." Thus, I'm questioning the reality of the premise, as I refuse to believe that actually occurred.

Also, I like saying that phrase.

You're literally worse than Hitler ;)

Well, I am a terrible artist, so for all intensive purposes, that's an apt comparison.

Voted for Obama in Chester Co. Pa an hour ago. Same precinct, always vote in the 3 o'clock hour, but my ballot number was the highest I've ever had. Several co-workers had long waits in their precincts. Expecting record turnout.

There are not 2 choices for president. There are 6 candidates. Vote for which best represents you and your beliefs, not who you are told will or should win.

(As a former Obama voter, may I direct my fellow disillusioned Democrats toward Ross Anderson of the Justice party...)

Been there, done that.3 elections for Nader.Go ahead and laugh, but I always vote my conscience.Last time? Obama.McCain? Lord no. Palin? Girlfriend, go back to what you do best- looking purty.

Now? Romney? Sheesh.Ryan? Fark that legitimate rape bullschnitt.

Obama has done some good stuff.But dang, not liberal enough for me. But I have no choice. I'm certainly disillusioned. But the alternative is too much to bear.

...I think my point sort of strolled by you, there.

I think TheMysticS's point was that if one views Obama as not being liberal enough, one has to consider that the possibility of a Romney win would be even worse, so voting for a third-party candidate with no chance of winning would be silly.

Thank you, sir.

Because the party of R has been so silly, so wrongheaded, so immature, so blatant- well, we know what is in the cards if we vote R.

The D vote has been a question mark for me my whole voting life.But I can't voice a protest vote- I feel I should not risk it- morally, I have to vote this way. For me.YMMV, but yes, my vote is against much more than for.Then again...Naw. Gotta make sure the world I grew up in still exists- so I'd better vote someone to appoint nominees to the Supreme Court.

Got the mail in ballot in CA, but dropped it off at a precinct today (you can just pick any of them) 5 minutes total from when I left work to getting back, only gripe is that it was difficult to find the polling place nearest to work (all the locators were based on residential addresses so had to find one to put into the locator)

AngryPanda:Weaver95: heading into the home stretch - polls close in 4 hours. still no evidence of GOP efforts to get out the vote. At this point i'm going to officially call it and say the Republican party abandoned Pennsylvania.

Well, the one Republican girl in my office is complaining that someone's intimidating conservative voters in Philly today.

How do these intimidators know who's conservative?? They must've gotten mind-reading powers when Obama used his time machine to start the Soviet Union.

Since the intimidators are all black, they're intimidating any whities. And that's called profiling. And it's wrong./doingitright?

Blue_Blazer:bionicjoe: A Terrible Human: So do I. I really hope that passes and Hal Rogers loses his seat.

I get Ben Chandler. Been fun watching Andy Barr make a fool of himself this season.

Kinda related:Anyone else notice that any Republican, no matter how small the office, is running against Obama. Saturday night in a bar just before closing I see some ad for District Wiffle Bat Inspector (or something) in a small town in KY just outside Lexington. Couldn't hear it, but all the text on the screen was OMG HE FIGHTS RADICAL OBAMA SOCIALISM!!!

Except this one, she wants to be Obama's tag team partner

That's running for US Senate though. That makes sense to mention Obama if you're in Washington.I'm talking about people running for assistant dog catcher & crap, but their platform is all about Obama. It's silly."I'll fight/defend the radical/good-sense agendas of the president from my office in the basement of Government Building 2A in Bumfark, KY!"

just checked - nope, no money in the budget for 'threats and intimidation'. so maybe she ran into some freelancers?
